Sheese used to be horrible, I agree. They definitely changed the recipe at some point.

The flavours we repeatedly buy and almost always have on hand are smoked, strong cheddar, blue, and sometimes cheshire (good for salads).

I use Sheese both as a hard cheese (good in sandwiches) and melted. It doesn't melt the same as other brands, but if you grate it finely and put it in things then it will (eg sauces, lasagna, mixed with cheezly in a grilled cheese).

I've just discovered though that I like the cheezly white cheddar, the texture is less like playdough than other varieties. It even makes a good cheese and pickle sandwich!! not to hijack but I saw in veg cooking mag that cheezly have now got blue and pepperjack varieties out, but I haven't seen them yet in the health food shop.

cheezly have now got blue and pepperjack varieties out, but I haven't seen them yet in the health food shop.

yeah, i saw these on redwood's online shop but not found them in an actual shop yet. i'm quite excited to try the blue cheese variety but i have absolutely no point of reference for it, having never eaten actual blue cheese before.

anyway yeah, i used to really dislike scheese but then at a manchester vegan fair maybe 3 years ago they had a stall with all of the reformulated products on it and i was impressed with all the ones i tried.

I like the one with chives/herbs (? can't remember - it has green bits in) v thinly sliced on crackers. For melting I like the taste of super melting cheezly and the texture of Tofutti Creamy Smooth Mozzarella Style so I mix them yum yum.

ugh, i agree. the first and only time i tried scheese i put it on an onion bagel and it was really gross, then for a while i couldn't eat onion bagels as it reminded me of scheese. but i may give it another go!

I have medium cheddar sheese on my sandwich today as I bought it ages ago and my cheezly had gone off. I tried a little bit and the texture is ok but it stil has that funny chemically sheese taste that I don't like. I've put a butt load of pickle on it so hopefully that'll hide it a bit.

On a cheese note, I bought some bacon cheezly because the Americans seem to love it. What to do with it?

I can't remember what all I did with mine (the one time I was able to get half a block bartered with interrobang?! for marshmallows), but I would suggest using it in something that isn't super flavourful already so you can actually taste the smokiness. Maybe shredded over steamed broccoli? Mmm...now I want some bacon Cheezly.

ooh, is that the block of tofutti mozarella you're using? we saw that in the health food shop near cidersmurfette's house yesterday morning and wondered what it's like- you'll have to report on it please! i've had the tofutti mozz slices before and was quite disappointed- they're really watery and melted away to almost nothing when i had them on burgers.
